CSP Focus China Tour 2017

It is well known that China government had approved 20 demonstration CSP projects with FiT at RMB 1.15/kWh, and the total capacity 1.349 GW, which made China another engine for global CSP development. As was required in the 13th Five Year Planning of RE Development, another 3.65GW CSP capacity needs to be deployed within 2020, when the world CSP capacity will be doubled.
And it is really an exciting and challenging task for the local
industry peers. According to some insiders close to National Energy
Administration, the governing body for energy project deployment, more CSP capacity will be planned in the following decade (2020-2030).

● Status quo of the 1st round of 20 pilot CSP Projects

The success of the first round of 20 demonstration CSP projects is critical for the deployment of the following 3.65GW. Below is the list of those who had started construction and made some progress in the past year.

● China Local CSP Value Chain

The local value chain for China CSP industry has been getting mature through the fast development of the past decade. The local companies are able to produce almost all the key equipment and materials including receivers, molten salt, heliostats, concentrators, mechanical & hydraulic drives, control equipment for DCS, and glass reflecting mirrors. The total investment of those companies reached RMB 4.18 billion (USD 698 million).

● Where is the potential cooperation opportunities between China local and international CSP companies?

CSP is relatively new in China, and the local developers and EPC contractors did not have any experience and reference in CSP, especially in the development and construction of commercial CSP plant. So there is a huge demand of cooperation with overseas CSP companies, in some field such as project development, engineering and design,EPCM, O&M, etc.

In CSP plants, regardless of the technology they use, the main aim is to make the collection and use of the sun’s thermal energy as efficient and cost-effective as possible. Thermal insulation ensures that avoidable heat losses are kept to a minimum and that the overall process is as efficient as possible from the thermal standpoint. However, it is vitally important to use the best solutions avai
